Campaign For Real Ale

Cornwall

Star Castle Hotel

Real ale is served in the Dungeon Bar, a rather confined space in the old castle dungeon under the hotel, reached down a steep and narrow staircase from hotel reception. The tiny bar can accommodate only one barperson, but the drinking and seating area is surprisingly large. The 'changing' real ale is usually from Ales of Scilly although might at times be another St Austell beer. Interesting décor reflects the history of the castle and the maritime heritage of the islands. Bar snacks are available, with full meals being taken in one of the two restaurants upstairs.
